Here's a look at all the yummy food I made and ate over the holidays.
New year's eve appetizer. Malpeque oysters with a white onion mignonette and some bubbly.
New year's eve dinner. Drake Qwacker the Third got roasted up with some baby potatoes and organic carrots. I am such a non-vegetarian now. 
Sushi with my oldest friends. That is some mighty futomaki!
My hometown sushi joint is expanding into the realm of Korean food. Some spicy soup with kimchi. It was pretty awesome.
My lovely cousin made these gingerbread cookies.
My grandma's petes de soeurs (nun's farts) and some "Davy Crockets" AKA peanut butter balls.
Made some veggie curry for my family on a whim. No biggie. Thanks Patak's paste, you make me an adequate Indian cook.
Here is the first attempt at making pho, from scratch, including boiling bones for beef broth. Not bad, not bad. One step closer to recruiting a broth whisperer to make me bases for my soups. 
Highlights of the holidays included:
-making pho for the first time
-having a dinner party with my parents
-my dad's emotional cosmo drinking
-adding the adjective "christmas" to every action or thought, such as "christmas annoyance", and "christmas tension"
-looking at ducks
-eating ducks
-roasting a duck for the first time
-cuddling
I hope that the holidays left you with some warm and fuzzy memories. Now it's get back to work time, and I will be posting the epic pho times very soon!
Bonne Année! xo
